How to make Telegram BOT reply to a specific message?

Question

I would like to make my BOT reply to a specific message like this:

I am using the "reply_to_msg_id" with the ID of the message to replies to, but it doesn't work.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks in advance,

Giacomo

What does it say when you send the request with reply_to_msg_id? It should return an error if it doesn't work. — Ali Padida, Mar 25 '20 at 20:45
Then use another API for your bot development, it should always return a response for you to find out about the error. — Ali Padida, Mar 26 '20 at 16:49

bot.onText(/\/start/, (msg, match)=> {
var text = "hi user welcome to bot"
bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id,text,{reply_to_message_id: msg.message_id})

})

use replay_to_message_id

You need to use reply_to_message_id and NOT reply_to_msg_id.

Source: Telegram sendMessage API

bot.on('message', (msg) => {
  const { message_id: originalMessageId, from: { username }, chat: { id: chatId } } = msg;

  bot.sendMessage(chatId, `welcome ${username}`, {
    reply_to_message_id: originalMessageId
  });
})
